Where is the real problem in the entertainment industry? OLD BUSINESS MODELS. Give people what they want – and they're happy to pay. Treat paying customers like criminals and more piracy happens.

While going door to door, encyclopedia salesmen kept hearing from people ask "Can I get that on a CD?"

Their sales were dwindling – the salespeople were passing the word on to their business what customers wanted, but the business did not listen because they did not want to lose their print sales.
